Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JK320NF0009
The Public Sector Training Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 693JK320NF0009) is a federal grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). It falls under the Transportation funding activity category and is listed under CFDA number 20.703. The program is structured as a grant (rather than a contract or cooperative agreement) and is categorized in the listing as an "Other" opportunity type, with the central purpose indicated in the title and description: supporting public sector training.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, that means a qualifying nonprofit organization can apply, but colleges and universities themselves are not eligible applicants under this announcement. The focus on 501(c)(3) nonprofits suggests the agency intended to fund mission-driven organizations with the capacity to develop and deliver training that benefits public sector needs in the transportation-related space covered by PHMSA.
Funding levels for this opportunity indicate a meaningful, mid-sized training program competition. The award ceiling is listed as $950,000, meaning an individual award under this announcement could be funded up to that amount. The agency anticipated making about five awards, which implies a competitive selection process where only a handful of applicants would receive funding, and projects would likely need to demonstrate clear value, credible implementation plans, and strong training impact to stand out.
Key dates show the timeline for the original competition cycle. The opportunity was created on February 4, 2020, and the original closing date for applications was March 19, 2020. This provides a short application window of roughly six weeks, which is typical for some federal training grant announcements and usually requires applicants to have a well-developed program concept, established organizational capacity, and readiness to assemble required federal forms and narrative materials quickly.
In summary, this PHMSA grant opportunity was designed to fund a small number of substantial training-focused projects delivered by eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits, within the broader transportation safety and training mission area associated with PHMSA. The maximum potential award size (up to $950,000) and the expectation of five awards suggest the agency was looking for applicants capable of executing robust public sector training efforts at scale, with measurable outcomes and strong administrative and programmatic capacity.Apply for 693JK320NF0009
